Pick Westbrook

Chapter 236 Don't Hurt Me

Anthony frowned and glanced at O'Neill Jr., and said very displeasedly, "Why don't you dare?"

At this time, the referee under the basket obviously heard the conversation between the two, pointed at the two with the ball in his arms and warned: "Just play the ball, don't make so many troubles."

Anthony looked at the referee's arrogant face and said confidently: "Don't worry, I can't make trouble here."

"In fact, if I stand here and make free throws, no one will dare to dangle in front of me."

As soon as Anthony finished speaking, Jermaine O'Neal and Cousins ​​swaggered to exchange rebound positions.

The referee gave Anthony a strange look.

Anthony Mao is about to explode.

What the hell, you two are going to slap me in the face, right?

How could Jermaine O'Neal, who is a master of boxing and kicking in the Palace of Auburn Hills, be ignorant at this time, and directly replied: "You coward can make free throws with your eyes closed if you have the ability."

Just when Anthony was about to say something, Billups walked over and looked at Anthony very firmly and said.

"This game is very important to us, let's talk about it after winning the game."

Anthony calmed down all the emotions in his heart, and at this time he also came to his senses.

Jermaine O'Neal is an extremely tough player. He is different from Garnett's kind of bullying and afraid of the tough. Jermaine O'Neal is really tough, and he has done his best to pass on the true biography of Reggie Miller.

O'Neal and Reggie Miller are exactly the same in terms of trash talking to disturb the opponent's psychology.

Thinking of this, Anthony cheered up and opened his eyes to execute the free throw.

Duang!

Missed two free throws.

"Fuck!"

O'Neal, who succeeded in his tricks, proudly raised his right hand at the Bucks' bench and shouted, "I'll guard against him, no problem!"

Switch offense.

After Dragic advanced with the ball, he did not follow his previous playing habits, looking for opportunities to break through the basket or use picks to split the ball.

He kept in mind Li Lai's tactical arrangement when making substitutions, and waited steadily for his teammates to move tactically.

Artest's bottom corner served as a wall for Curry, and Curry went to the right bottom corner with an off-ball screen.

Jermaine O'Neal mentioned that the top of the arc was a pick-and-roll for Dragic, but Dragic did not break through the basket after the two had one gear and one roll.

Cousins ​​on the inside suddenly sat in the paint.

Dragic passed the ball steadily.

The Bucks' continuous off-ball screens on the court dazzled everyone, but if you look closely at the inside line, Stoudemire is still facing Cousins, and the Bucks' offense seems to be nothing. .

Barkley suddenly came to his senses and said, "No, the Bucks are playing a low-post tactic designed by the Jazz for Iron Elbow Malone!"

Barkley, who wanted to understand this, was shocked.

当年他可是和马龙交过无数次手，在两人横跨14年多达49次的交手对位中，马龙场均能够得到24分10篮板3助攻的数据。

As the main defender against Malone, Barkley only averaged 18 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists per game.

就算在两人整个职业生涯季后赛场上的10次交手中，马龙也以6胜4负占优，并且场均能够砍下25分12篮板3助攻的数据。

The Jazz also won the two rounds of the series.

So Malone can be regarded as the old enemy of Barkley's career. The latter is very familiar with the offensive tactics designed by the Jazz for Malone, and no one dares to raise objections.

"Malone has two main offensive methods in the Jazz. One is to become a pick-and-roll executor and cooperate with Stockton in a two-line offense. Great opportunity."

In Barkley's view, most people who have not personally experienced the attacks of Malone and the Jazz will probably ask that the pick-and-roll tactics of Malone and Stockton are understandable. After all, the two have dedicated too many wonderful pick-and-rolls to fans all over the world. tactics.

But what's the use of Malone sitting inside, waiting for Stockton and other teammates to pick and roll?

Barkley chuckled at this moment.

He can say with certainty that, except for the pick-and-roll between Stockton and Malone, one-third of the Jazz's remaining tactics were the Bucks' current tactics.

If you have to worry about the use of this tactic, think about how Jordan steals Malone to complete the lore in the 98 Finals.

The offense in that round was because Stockton and Malone were anxious at the same time, and they did not become pick-and-roll executors and did not let other teammates participate in the pick-and-roll tactics.

Stockton also looked too much forward to the upcoming victory, so he passed the ball directly to Malone, the Jazz's offensive weapon.

There is no need to say more about the following story. Malone was terminated, the Jazz was lore, and Utah Shuangsha lost the championship trophy that he was about to get.

Barkley still remembers that after that scene appeared that year, countless fans and media reporters all over the world were asking, why did Jordan dare to give up his defender at that time and double-team Malone?

"It's because the Jazz didn't implement this tactic at that time!"

At this time, Barkley looked at the picture on the court with eyes focused and said: "O'Neal mentioned the top of the arc and gave Dragic a pick-and-roll. Anthony, the only one who could help defend the inside, was switched to the outside."

"The corner of Artest on the weak side was used as a wall for Curry. Curry used the off-ball screen to go to the right corner. Curry came out and took away the Knicks' small forward Sean who was also excellent on the field. -Williams."

"In this way, Cousins ​​will get a low-post single with no worries at all in the paint. All he has to do now is one thing."

"Eat Stoudemire!"

Kenny Smith lost his voice in shock when he heard his old partner Barkley shouting hoarsely.

Unexpectedly, in his eyes, an extremely chaotic tactic contained such a large article.

The Bucks are worthy of being the Bucks. They have been able to become the league's first offensive team for three consecutive years, and this is the reason.

Barkley murmured at this time and continued: "The Bucks' tactics are obviously better than the Jazz's."

"Their coaching team optimized this tactic because O'Neal was at the free throw line at this time."

"Jermaine O'Neal has a mid-range shot. In addition, the second meaning of his position in this position is that once Cousins ​​​​fails to succeed Stoudemire in singles, he will be the next wave of offense for the Bucks. Always ready to catch the ball."

hiss~
Kenny Smith gasped.

This is a blast!

The Bucks not only borrowed the offensive tactics of the Jazz back then, but also optimized their tactics to become stronger.

The offensive system of this team can really be described as abnormal.

on the field.

Cousins ​​also saw O'Neal at the free throw line. Although he was already very familiar with Li Lai, he knew that the opponent's offensive tactics would always be interlocking and would not put all his eggs in one basket.

But even so, he felt a little dissatisfied.

"I'm here to single Stoudemire, what support do I need!!!"

Cousins ​​turned back and forth under the penalty area, and Stoudemire was completely at a disadvantage in the force collision in the reasonable collision zone.

He was a little surprised at the strength and singles skills of the rookie in front of him.

Knowing that he was invincible, Stoudemire changed his defensive strategy, from hard resistance to withdrawal and trickery to cutting the ball to destroy the opponent's attack.

But at this time, Cousins ​​perfectly showed his ingenuity in Zhang Fei's embroidery. After feeling that there was no defensive confrontation behind him, he jumped directly on the spot.

Don't look at the basket with his back and hands looping dunks!
boom! !

"This dunk is full of strength."

Fans in the entire Bradley Arena swallowed their mouths.

This is after Westbrook, the second player they have seen dunk such an exaggerated dunk.

Cousins ​​took off his braces and looked at his coach bench. Like O'Neal, he yelled confidently: "I'll single him out, no problem!"

Li Lai hugged his hands and smiled.

O'Neal was happy on the bench, and he pushed Iverson with his shoulder and said, "I taught this trick."

Iverson was almost overturned on the bench by O'Neal, his face was full of emotions of being arched by a pig.

With Cousins ​​scoring this goal, the Bucks' subsequent offenses were all handed over to him.

At this time, Tyronn Lue understood why Li Lai took Westbrook ahead of schedule.

Because Dragic's three-pointers are better, this will help Cousins ​​get easier singles opportunities in the paint.

At this moment, Li Lai turned his head to look at Tai Lunlu and said, "It's not just because of this."

"In the second quarter, I also need the cooperation of Russell and Yi Jianlian."

"So Russell's early exit is inevitable."

Tai Lun was stunned, looked at Li Lai who wanted to remind him, and nodded gratefully.

Tyronn Lue can't count how many times Li Lai took the initiative to inform him of his tactical thinking, which was completely unimaginable in Tyronn Lue's team in the past.

After all, no head coach would be willing to teach others what he has without reservation.

And Li Lai did just that.

"Coach, you are really different from others."

The first quarter is over.

The Bucks took the lead with 33:30.

Cousins ​​and Anthony staged a wave of offensive confrontation in this quarter.

The two, you and me, scored 15 points, 5 rebounds and 14 points and 4 rebounds respectively.

The second game.

The Bucks have another rotation that makes D'Antoni extremely envious.

Westbrook, Danny Green, McGrady, Villanueva and Yi Jianlian.

On the other hand, for the Knicks, D'Antoni can only offer a 7-man rotation again.

Tony Douglas, Bill Walker, Sean Williams, Stoudemire and Jared Jeffries.

Although Stoudemire is leading the team on the court, the opponent is not a master of offense with the ball and post-up singles, so when the Knicks did not get Billups, their offense was completely blocked.

Look at the Bucks again.

Westbrook and Yi Jianlian had a great time playing the pick-and-roll, and Yi Jianlian and Villanueva, the two best court partners in the past, jointly rained three-pointers in this quarter.

Yi Jianlian went 5 for 2.

Villanueva made 4 of 2 shots.

At the end of the half, the Bucks continued to expand their lead with 65:56.

Second half of the game.

Anthony played suddenly and made all the first 5 shots, directly reducing the score of the two teams to 3 points.

Tyronn Lue and Marshall were anxious in the coaching bench, because Billups was on the court at this time, and the Bucks didn't dare to double-team Anthony.

But just letting Anthony continue to attack like this, it is very likely that the opponent will wipe out the efforts of the Bucks for the entire game. It is not impossible for the Bucks to lose tonight's game.

Off the court, Li Lai's eyes were sharp, and the emotion on his face was very ugly.

"This is the super giant of the league. Anthony does have the ability to change the outcome of the game."

"But I also have a league super giant!"

In the next game of the Bucks, the offensive rhythm suddenly changed greatly.

From the overall offense and pass and cut cooperation, it has completely changed to Curry's one-man offense with the ball.

Artest and Villanueva, who used to act as a wall in the double bottom corner to cover Curry without the ball, also turned into a high position to cover Curry with the ball.

Because of Curry's strong offensive ability, the Knicks had to double-team every screen.

This defensive strategy also gave Artest and Villanueva many opportunities to easily cut inside and score.

But it was such a double-team defense, and Curry also shot the Knicks frantically from the outside. He made 10 of 4 three-pointers in a single quarter, and directly hit Anthony with a look of lovelessness.

Anthony found that his two-point offense, one after another, was really not Curry's opponent in terms of firepower bombing.

It wasn't until this time that D'Antoni on the coaching bench of the Knicks remembered that the league's scoring leader this season is Curry!
And the opponent is in the Bucks.

D'Antoni couldn't help but sneer at himself at this time.

"Curry's offense with the ball is so powerful, you Bucks didn't even use it once in the last game."

"It seems that the overall strength of the Knicks is more than a little behind the Bucks."

"I'm afraid that even if Curry exposed his bombing power with the ball tonight, the Knicks still haven't been able to force out the strongest Bucks."

Finally, the game is over.

The Bucks won again with 120:110.

库里三分球15投6中，砍下了30分3篮板3助攻的数据，威斯特布鲁克18分12篮板14助攻。

考辛斯同样是雄鹿队赢下今晚这场比赛的大功臣之一，20投9中，罚球6罚6中，砍下了24分13篮板的两双数据。

而全场得分王是尼克斯队的安东尼，30投15中，罚球9罚8中，砍下了40分9篮板2助攻的数据。

"But the Knicks lost the game."

After the game, Cousins ​​was extremely excited. He shook his jersey vigorously with both hands in the direction of the Knicks.

15 number.

Anthony looked at the arrogant Cousins ​​and vowed to give him a little color in the next game. He still remembered Cousins ​​and O'Neal slapping him in the face on the court.

Seeing Cousins' naive look, Li Lai couldn't help but sighed repeatedly.

"You don't even know how to behave in front of your idol. You want to let the other party remember you and express your love for the other party. Anyway, you should divide the occasion."

Li Lai couldn't stand it any longer. He walked onto the court and patted Cousins, saying, "After the series is over, I'll take you to Melo."

Cousins, who was slapped for no reason, frowned in extreme displeasure, and turned his head angrily and yelled, "I! Ni! Ma!"

Artest and O'Neal looked back at the same time.

Little O'Neill also looked over with a frown.

Seeing Li Lai in front of him, Cousins ​​quickly fled with a silly smile.

"Coach, don't make me get punched again."
